Either UFC hates Gamrot or his manager does.

Should be a main event imo.

 

[The_Renaissance]

I like this fight, good stylistic matchup. Gamrot probably spams takedowns though to a decision.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I think Gamrot got this one. Klein is good but this is a pretty huge step up in competition.

#7 fighting an unranked and not on short notice? Ok then.

It's a good fight. Klein just hasn't been given a chance to climb into the rankings but has proven himself worth a shot against anyone outside the top 5.

Damn I thought Gamrot would get someone close to top 5. Especially since the division is clogged up at the top.

Imagine if the decision went to him instead of Hooker. Maybe it would've been better for the division because Hooker is injured all the time

It's a good fight and good for Klein. It's shitty for Gamrot and does nothing for him.

 

[Fact Checker]

Gamrot in for another tough day at the office. Meanwhile mid guys like Paddy and Chase Hooper getting more buzz and high profile fights against washed big name 40something year olds lol.


Can’t tell me there ain’t no Dana White Privilege.

 

[Thesnake101]

Rooting for Klein, Gamrot has not looked the part of a contender for a while now. Pretty clear he's reached his ceiling and it's just a bit below that of a contender.

Robocop got his opportunity to fight a top 10 middleweight in Cannonier recently & that was a fun fight. I don't have a problem with unranked guys getting top 10 opponents or main events on occasion.

 

[Tokoloko]

Thought that its just a "april fools post" when seen this from Klein's coach few weeks ago -

Gamrot is beast for accepting dangerous opponent outside of top 15 which is unbeaten in last 8...absolute kudos to him.

Also there is bad blood between Topuria and Klein for +- 2 years. It could be very interesting matchup if Klein wins and Makhachev decides move up to fight Belal..

This fight wont even main event, its the Barber/Blanchfield card so co-main im guessing.

He gets a good fight and to earn some money?? It would definitely do something for him. Stare at rankings longer until they make sense.

I guess Paddy will fight a top five. Moicano and Dawson are his core teammates. He recently fought against Dariush. Fiziev and Chandler just fought. BSD and Alvarez are matched against each other.
So you have to get a good fighter outside the rankings. Klein is on 4 wins, including Bahamondes and Moises

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I picked Ludo for the rankings prediction game this year, so I'm very biased in him getting a great shot like this, but man is it a head scratcher. Yes, Ludo is unbeaten in like 8 fights and deserves a shot at a ranking, but this isn't some fringe rank guy that an unranked guy would usually get. Nor is Gamrot on some Chandler-like losing streak that should require him to take a significant step back. Gamrot is #7 and had 3 ranked wins in a row before losing once to Hooker

I think that was to make up for him getting screwed in his own progression. He was right outside the top 15 with his Tavares win, so from there, he should have got a fringe guy, and with an impressive win, would have fought someone like Cannonier next, but instead he did he promotion a favor to fill in short notice against some guy. So it's the spot he kinda should have been in, and even then it still didn't really make much sense, and look at how that jump up resulted for him

Except pay the man for an "easy" win

 

[Tweak896]

Makes sense, no other LW is going to give the outside 15 a chance. LW is so weird and Gamrot is coming off a loss. I blame him for keeping Dariush ranked so long, so hope Klein pulls it off, he's on a good streak right now
